DOES THE LEGAL REQUIREMENT ONLY APPLY TO SMALL CATERING BUSINESSES?
The requirement applies to all food businesses but the SFBB initiative has been specifically designed for small caterers because 60% of all food businesses are small caterers. Further assistance along the lines of SFBB is being developed for other specific sectors of the food industry e.g. retailers. Whilst this is principally aimed at small catering businesses, there is nothing to stop large businesses from adopting SFBB to use with their own food safety management system.
